There Are Drugs In Your Water

Makes perfect sense when you look at how much inconsistency you and others have every day, maybe a bad day just means the water you drank with breakfast had too many sedatives or some other drug. 

So what exactly is a “trace amount”? A molecule? a gram? It would be nice to see some of the research and data behind this. I mean the drawings are nice but it seems essential to know whether or not someone such as myself who drinks tap water needs to be concerned. 

Sorry, it didn’t let me post an image, here is a map of where some of these tests were done, and the results. And here is an excerpt,—” To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, measured in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe.” (from MSNBC)

Chlorine use already keeps me from drinking tap water but this could be reason number two

wow, I don’t think our water would contain enough to really effect us- depending on where you live.  But if our body recognizes it and we excrete it, we should be fine. (right?)  hrmmm. 

Well seeing as prescription drugs aren’t meant to kill, you should be fine. Even the more deadly / accident prone drugs are not very powerful on the scale of parts per billion or parts per trillion. It would be much much worse if there were biological contaminants in our water such as bacteria or viral strains, because even in small doses, those can reproduce within us. Basically, your body will process the minute portions of drugs, but little real effect will be observed.

The only real implications of this study is that our water is not as clean as we may have thought, so we have room to improve.

i was suprised not to see any depression or anxiety meds, now that over 3/4 the population are on one or the other. Maybe they are just absorbed well…

I NEVER knew that!
